Designed Around Your Home, Built To Last
We start by visiting, measuring up and designing around your property and how you'll use the pool. If it needs a pool building or outbuilding, we can help with the planning side too.
On new homes and major renovations we work alongside housebuilders and main contractors, so the pool is built in step with everything else.
Five Stages, Done Properly
STEP 01Survey & Design
We visit, measure up and design around your property. For refurbishments we start with a structural survey, so the price is real before work begins.
STEP 02The Concrete Shell
Cast, sprayed or ICF concrete, chosen to suit your site and design. Sprayed concrete shells carry a 10-year warranty.
STEP 03Waterproofed & Tested
30mm render and 60mm screed laid level to within 1 to 2mm, a mesh-reinforced tanking membrane, then a seven-day water test before a single tile goes on.
STEP 04Finished By Hand
Mosaic, glass or porcelain, fixed with pool-grade adhesives and grout. Choose epoxy grout and the tiling warranty runs to five years.
STEP 05Looked After For Years
Our own engineers service and maintain what we build, from filtration to heating and covers.
What Goes Into Every New Pool
- A reinforced concrete shell: sprayed (gunite), cast or ICF
- 30mm waterproof render and 60mm screed, laid level to within 1 to 2mm
- Mesh in every corner, a 3 to 4mm reinforced tanking membrane and a seven-day water test
- Insulation, plus glass mosaic, mosaic, porcelain or natural stone finishes
- Textured safety edging tiles and feature walls
- Filtration, heating and automatic covers
- Stainless steel or ABS ladders and perimeter fencing
- Help with design and planning, and servicing afterwards
Guarantees In Plain Numbers
Every new build comes with written warranties on each stage of the work. Refurbishments carry a 3-year warranty on render, tanking and cement-based grout, extended to 5 years with epoxy grout. The existing structure isn't covered, which is why every refurbishment starts with a structural survey.
- 10Years on sprayed concrete shells
- 3Years on render and screed
- 3Years on tiling with cement grout
- 5Years on tiling with epoxy grout
From Shell To Swim
What are your pools built from?
Reinforced concrete. Depending on the site and design that's a sprayed concrete shell, a cast shell, or insulated concrete formwork (ICF) blocks filled with concrete.
How do you make sure it won't leak?
Every shell is rendered and screeded, then reinforcing mesh goes into every corner and junction before a 3 to 4mm mesh-reinforced tanking membrane goes over the lot. Once that's cured, we fill the pool and leave it for a seven-day water test before any tiling starts.
How disruptive is the build?
We keep the site tidy and the disruption as low as we can. For hotels and other businesses we can work out of hours so you keep trading.
How long does a build take?
